From eWeek, July 11 2005 edition, page 42, in an article looking at what IT will be like in 2010:
"Are these people a reinvention of the systems analysts of the 60s and 70s? Or is there something more sophisticated there?
Rosen: I think one of the key things you'll need is people who know how to learn - not so much people who know language X, Y, and Z, but people capable of learning a lot of different kinds of things."
So this member of the eWeek Roundtable thins IT will by 2010 find it more important to have people onboard who know how to learn than to have people who already possess a certain pool of knowledge.
It makes a lot of sense - and always has. Knowledge is relatively easy to gain with some effort (it's called training, people). The ability to learn (and even the desire....) can take years to develop.
Where does this type of person exist?
Liberal Arts programs.
